No more chaotic group texts. No more wedding website nobody checks. Tetherly is the wedding app your guests will actually open — with everything they need for your big day in one beautiful place. Built for destination weddings, multi-day celebrations, and modern couples who want to keep guests informed without the chaos. WHAT YOUR GUESTS GET • Full event schedule with times, venues, dress codes, and directions • RSVP with dietary preferences, plus-ones, and travel details • Announcements and group chat — reactions, threaded replies, photos • Attendee directory so guests can connect before the big day • Shared photo album for wedding memories • DJ song requests • Destination travel guide with local tips, transit info, and live currency rates • Smart packing checklist tailored to each guest's role in the wedding • Multi-page venue floor plans so no one gets lost BUILT-IN AI CONCIERGE Every guest gets a private AI assistant that answers questions instantly — from "what's the dress code for the welcome party?" to "how do I get from the hotel to the ceremony?" It knows your schedule, dress codes, venues, and travel details, so guests never text you at 2am. FOR COUPLES • Stop being the wedding help desk. Guests ask the AI concierge instead of texting you at 2am. • Reach every guest instantly with push notifications — no more chasing down who saw the update. • Show the right guests the right info. Bridal-party-only rehearsals, family-only welcome dinners, or wedding-party-only announcements — all with a tap. • See who's coming, who they're rooming with, what they need to eat, and when they're arriving — one clean household view, exportable to CSV for your venue or planner. • Bring your planner, DJ, makeup artist, and even your henna artist into the app with their own accounts, so no one's playing telephone. • Your wedding, your app. Turn chat, AI, or attendee profiles on or off — customize what your guests see. MADE FOR DESTINATION & MULTI-EVENT WEDDINGS Whether it's a weekend in Tuscany, a week in Goa, or a multi-day celebration, Tetherly handles the complexity: multiple events with different guest lists, travel logistics, role-based packing tips, and even a live queue system for on-site vendors like henna artists and photo booths. Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony or a 500-guest destination celebration, Tetherly gives your guests everything they need to show up ready, connected, and excited. Questions or feedback? We'd love to hear from you.
